ERA GT Rear Suspension | |
The E.R.A.
rear suspension closely duplicates
the
original components and layout.
We
have custom aluminum hub carriers cast and machined, and we fabricate
steel
control arms that are nearly perfect duplicates of the original car's
components.
All pivot bearings are either nylon-lined rod ends or spherical bearings. The suspension geometry is changed slightly from the original car to compensate for wider tires. The anti-sway bar is optional. |
Handling is predictable, precise - and quite extraordinary! |
A front view of the rear
suspenstion. The brake
calipers are from the late model Corvette, clamping the 11.75" x .810"T
vented
rotors. The emergency brake is integral with the caliper.
All rod ends are nylon lined for silent running on the street, and the upper and lower trailing arms are mounted in urethane isolators at their front attachment points. |
